Simple and minimal permissions I'd love to love this, it's simple, has few permissions and no network permissions, but it's awkward to use, and has no real options except text size. No capitalisation. Can't set up a default storage location, means you have to search to open and save notes every time if you want them on SD card. Crashed every time I tried to use in conjunction with OI Safe, and at other times. Desperately needs some options. Android 4.2.2

Love it! Been using OI Notepad for about 6 years. Simple. Easy to use. Good for taking quick notes or writing long texts. Everything you write can be exported to PC in text format. No ads. Few permissions. Love it! Unfortunately, the developer has abandoned this product since 2015. It still works well, but no updates since. Nevertheless, I use OI Notepad every day, and recommend it completely.

Not allowing to 'Save File To SD card' anymore Saving text files to SD card was the biggest feature I liked in this app. But it stopped working after the first or second run. I even installed OI File Manager but every time I try to save files to extSdCard it gives "Error while writing file". Please address this issue. I desperately need an app that autosaves my notes to external microSD card so that I don't lose anything while factory reset. And it gets worse. No response from the devs for about 1.5 months.

Needs a batch import feature Lightweight, simple, no-BS notes app. Would be perfect if I could take all the 100s of .txt files exported from my previous notes app and import them here in one fell swoop. Very disappointed that it lacks this.

No longer works with MyBackup Pro? I've used this app for years and relied on being able up back up notes to MyBackup Pro. This functionality doesn't seem to work anymore. Wrote to developer and never got response. Will need to find alternative.

Nice and simple Notepad app I have been using this app for a few years now. With today's update, the app broke for users with newer versions of Android. I emailed developer that it still wasn't working with Marshmallow and within a few hours, another update was pushed thus fixing the issue.

New update version cannot work with Note 8.0 Samsung GT-N5100 Have been using it for many years but After updating to new version yesterday 30th Oct, cannot get the App to work. Its keeps stopping and crashes. When is the fix coming ?

Excellent I love this app! Some one recommend Ol Notepad to me and it is very useful. Like many people before me said -it is simple -that is what I like about this app. I write stories and little things to remember on there. Other apps I'd recommend is Quickoffice and Keep. Quick office allows you to make files for Documents, Spreadsheets, or Presentations. Keep allows you to make a list that you can check off, a quick note, and use Google Speak Now to make a list. You can also add pictures. Decent app!

What defines a Title? It has non-deterministic behavior when displaying the list of note titles. Sometimes the title consists of the first N lines (for some value of N), with an ellipsis. Other times, it displays the first N characters of the first line for some value of N such as 3, with an ellipsis. Sometimes it displays the first line of the note, which is the behavior that I would like it to maintain. but can't control, despite playing with the marquee title option. I suspect this oddity came about when the marquee option was added. An option to open with the cursor at the top, or bottom, or last position would be nice. Some notes I want to append new data, others I pre-pend. Other than that, and another issue with OI Date, it's great.

Good enough utility! I'm using it several years. My trouble is absence of save button and inconvenient entering in select mode. Every time when I save important info I have to export it because it not protected from accident change (

I do not look favorably upon applications that hide my data from me. There is stuff that I have typed that I see stored in OI Notepad but I don't know where the heck it put it on my Android. I don't see the data directory for the program anywhere. Yes I realize that once I save the file I know exactly where it is... But in the meantime it shouldn't be hidden from me completely.

Great, but... ... I seem to have a problem where, after having it installed for a month or 2, it uninstalls. I don't know if It's a problem with the HTC One V, or if It's the app (none of my other apps do this). Please look into the issue. Thanks!

Crap No redo/undo buttons. Wont be added either, have used this app faithfully for years out of habit, finally going to search out something else because having NO UNDO/REDO SUCKS. IT'S NECESSARY IN A DOCUMENT EDITOR. WANT 5 STARS? Pay attention to those rating you
